Donald Trump’s Walk of Fame Star Smashed with a Sledgehammer

Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame can’t seem to catch a break. Ever since the businessman and TV personality began his presidential campaign, it’s been constantly defaced and attacked in the wake of his repeated gaffes and offensive comments. In January, someone spray-painted a backward swastika on the star. Last July, a performance artist built a small wall around it, in protest of Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric about immigrants.

And now, someone else has finally decided to do away with the star completely, Deadline reports (in an exclusive, which is just so Hollywood). A man dressed as a construction worker attacked the star at 5:45 A.M. local time in Hollywood, taking to the sidewalk with a sledgehammer, then a pickax.

In video acquired by Deadline, you can watch the man repeatedly smash the star, using the ax to pick away the golden letters in Trump’s name. Passersby watch and record the man on their phones, with one man even taking one of the broken-off letters as a keepsake. What appear to be local reporters ask the man to share his identity, but he doesn’t answer their questions.

Trump was awarded the star in 2007, thanks to the success of shows like The Apprentice. The ceremony was attended by his wife, Melania, his son Baron, and stars like Jay Leno and Larry King.
